(Average) And You Thought There is Never a Girl Online?

NOTE: Stopped halfway episode 5.

Series in one sentence:  
A group of friends show an unrealistic amount of care and patience for an annoyingly stupid psychopath.

Series in more sentences:
A high school boy has been playing an online RPG with a group of faceless friends for a year, but when they decide to meet in real life, he discovers all of them are girls and attend the same school. More importantly, the young lady he "married" inside the game appears not to know the difference between it and reality, and claims him as her husband. The group decides to help her understand the difference by setting up a gaming club at school, where they can live interact to each other's antics.
 

It started out good enough and I was convinced the show deserved the many 5 star ratings it got from other viewers. The subject certainly interested me, but the series is not so much about gaming as it is about dealing with a total fruitcake who is a drain on society. But as expected in Japanese animation, this anime treats such a character as "cute" and "misunderstood". I've seen the trope countless times.

While the other characters in this group of friends act fine enough, there is one girl who's so far gone, she thinks it's normal to skip school just to play video games. Or to advocate for the murder of anyone who doesn't play games every second of the day and has a normal, healthy life.
These could be traits of an obsessed RPG-er with social and mental issues, but I don't even consider her to be a good portrayal or parody of that type of gamer. She is relatively attractive and far from good at the game she's playing; she plays it like, what she'd call, a normie. With other words, someone who doesn't know what they're doing and are more concerned with dressing up their avatar nicely. It doesn't make sense.

I stopped watching, because I just couldn't take all the "treat her well, she doesn't have many friends" and "she knows she can be dumb sometimes.."-babble throughout the series. This Ako girl is an unpleasant drama queen, and I would've completely ignored it if the series didn't try to convince me she's a misunderstood sweetheart.
I don't even understand what the relationship between her and the guy is supposed to be. He doesn't want to date her in real life, because he once had his heart broken by a girl player he confessed to, who claimed to be an adult man, but what does that have to do with this very real human girl standing before him? Is it just the idea he doesn't want to mix up gaming relationships with real life relationships? What is the logic in that? These kids go to the same school, good luck ignoring each other and then acting buddies behind a computer screen. That's not messed up at all. And the anime proved that not to work.
And then there's the thing that he already confessed to someone to like Ako, which is something I understand even less. He doesn't treat her according to this fact at all. Never mind he doesn't tell Ako this or accepts the relationship this girl eagerly wants, just who in their right mind would even fall for this mess? She's a deranged halfblood-yandere, and everybody keeps catering to her.

We'd have a stronger story if the majority played off in this game world and we wouldn't know whether Ako was a real girl or not till the very end of the series. Have the main guy meet a mousy, acne-ridden girl, and conclude he still loves her, since they've spent episodes building up a relationship online.
It's easy to fall for someone who's pretty, and in addition, to excuse their stupid faux-cutesy behaviour and dub it a "misunderstanding".

Who knows, maybe the show comes around after episode 5, but I lost interest.
